Reuters<\/a> pointed to an upcoming shift in the global PC market that most industry watchers have been expecting for some time now, saying that Chinese manufacturer Lenovo (HKG:0992) is expected to soon surpass Hewlett Packard as the biggest PC maker in terms of shipments.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lenovo is already shipping the most PCs in the Asia region by a large margin.<\/strong> While Lenovo (with 14.9 percent market share) sits just behind global leader HP (15.5 percent) it\u2019s interesting to take a look back and see how it got there. <\/p>\n

Reuters points out that Lenovo\u2019s joint venture with Japanese manufacturer NEC (January 2011) as well as its acquisition of German consumer electronics maker Medion (June 2011) has helped its progress.<\/strong> But the report also notes that Lenovo\u2019s profit margins at 1.4 percent are lower than HP and Dell (7.4 and 6.2 percent respectively) for the most recent quarter.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also important to note that Lenovo announced earlier this month that it would be investing $30 million into a manufacturing and distribution center in Brazil<\/a>. And progress in that large market will certainly help Lenovo in the PC wars since Brazil was the world\u2019s third largest PC market in 2011.<\/p>\n
